SLASH describes creating the fun clip here
:
"The idea behind doing an animated video for
‘Driving Rain’
is mostly due to the dark subject matter of the song influencing directors to come up with very dramatic, dark and sullen regular live action treatments that weren’t any fun at all (no offense to those guys). So,
I wanted to create something that could be tongue-in-cheek and yet still be dark with live-action animation
. We're all big fans of Stoopid Buddy and they came up with a great concept and treatment.
We love the video and it came out fn’ brilliant. Fyi, no puppets were harmed during the making of this video
."
“Our whole team at
Stoopid Buddy Stoodios
was beyond excited to work with
Slash, Myles, and those hard rocking Conspirators
,” explains
John Harvatine IV, Creative Director and Co-Founder.
“We had a blast creating a dramatic heart-pounding music video with rag-doll-like rod puppets and adrenaline-filled RC Jeeps. From this moment forward,
‘Driving Rain’
is now the
Citizen Kane of music videos
!”
SLASH FT. MYLES KENNEDY AND THE CONSPIRATORS
just launched their
North American headlining tour
and will visit 20 major cities before ending

.
The first single
“Driving Rain,”
is
Top 10
at
Rock Radio
this week,
#9 and climbing
.
“Driving Rain”
is now
the band’s 6
th
consecutive Top 10 single at radio
and
SLASH’s
fastest-rising single ever in his solo career yet. The band performed
“Driving Rain”
-which
Rolling Stone
described as
delivering “bluesy riffs and solos throughout the blistering track”
(7/25/18) and
Revolver
hailed as
“smoldering”
(7/25/18)--on
“Jimmy Kimmel Live!”
HERE
and
“Mind Your Manners”
HERE
.
LIVING THE DREAM
is
the new full-length offering from the group
which, in addition to
SLASH
and
singer MYLES KENNEDY
, also includes
bassist
TODD KERNS
,
drummer BRENT FITZ
and
rhythm guitarist
FRANK SIDORIS
.
SLASH
and his band re-teamed with producer Michael “Elvis” Baskette (Alter Bridge, Iggy Pop, Incubus) for their third album resulting in the band’s strongest collective statement to date following
World on Fire
and 2012’s
Apocalyptic Love
. From the
barnstorming, high-octane riffery
of opener
“Call of the Wild”
to the wah-drenched funk rock of
“Read Between the Lines,”
the
haunting majesty
of
“Lost Inside the Girl”
to
the swaggering deep-in-the-pocket Seventies grooves
of
“Serve You Right,”
to the
stately, quasi-classical melodic themes
of
“The Great Pretender,”
LIVING THE DREAM
packs a compendium of sounds and styles into
12 tightly arranged and sharply executed tracks
, all of it shot through with
SLASH’s trademark electrifying and dynamic riffing and high-wire, lyrical solos.
